There's an option to enable users to change their username. Enabling that
could result in a user renaming the username, then another user taking the
same username. There's also the situation where a user with a specific
username is deleted, then another user is created with the same username
(maybe years after).

Thanks for the feedback, Niels,
I am primarily concerned about the email address, but as another attribute
than the username is used to identify things, I thought I'd make sure and
include that in the question too.
At some point, my customer will probably want non-unique email addresses.
It's good to know it's at least on the roadmap.
Regards,
Guus
